In yet another action-packed night of fights, K-1 WGP in Japan provided us with a 70kg tournament that saw Chingiz Allazov knock out Hiroki Nakajima, Jordan Pikeur and have Yasuhiro Kido take him to a decision on his way to the top. While many predicted that Allazov would pick up this win, he was forced to earn it against a rejuvenated Kido, with Kido scoring a TKO win over Luke Whelan and taking out Sanny Dahlbeck with low kicks before the finals against Allazov.

Takeru showed us beautiful violence, as always, and in the two title fights we saw decisions with a ton of action. Wei Rui was able to hold off Gonnapar, but Kaew was dethroned by the always-great Masaaki Noiri, with Noiri getting his retribution and re-taking his spot at the top.
